If you could own just three classic arcade coin-ops what would they be?

My three would be,

I already have PCBs for Robotron, Defender, and Galaga. :)

My three most-wanted classics right now would probably be: Star Wars, Tron, and Star Castle.

Bloody difficult question but I will go with the following 3, not just because they are all games I love but also because they never got a perfect home conversion.

Quote from: "DreamcastRIP"I've never even played Road Riot 4WD. :o

It's an utterly brilliant arcade driving game from Atari thats full of humour and uses the same graphics chip as Pit-Fighter so has lots of digitised graphics and scaling effects.

There is a pretty good Atari Falcon version, a terrible SNES version and a very decent Lynx prototype.

I would have what DreamcastRIP said but replace Star Wars with Bubble Bobble.

Whenever I hear Atari's classic coin-op Crystal Castles mentioned I can't get the memory of that weird bloke using the trackball with his feet in The King of Kong out of my mind! ;D
